Thank you for making sure you have retaught PBIS expectations this first week or so. We know it takes time away from instruction but many of you know that it is time well spent now so you don't have to repeat yourself many more times over the next few months.
Winter Assessment Data - If you haven't already, please get all data entered on the Google spreadsheets by the end of the day on Monday, January 9th
1/2 Way Point - The end of the semester does not mean much in the elementary world, EXCEPT it does mean it is time to switch duties for many of you! Please look at the updated duty list that was sent out over break (also found on our Wiki) to see what your new duties require you to do. It is a also a great time to remind everyone that we all need to make sure we are doing our duty or have secured coverage if we cannot be in that location. Those switching - please share any tips/tricks with the team replacing you!
The Test-Formerly-Known-As-ITBS, will be administered to 3rd through 5th graders February 14-16. The newly named Iowa Assessments will have a new look and be tied directly with Iowa/Common standards. More information will be coming to those who administer the assessment to students (3rd-5th) and Cindi McDonald will be visiting with staff before school on Friday, January 27th.
Panera night went pretty well back in early December. PTO will be getting a check this week from Panera for $318! Next restaurant night is Monday Feb 27th. If you were not able to work this past one, please sign up for our next one by clicking here. Thank you to those who have already signed up!
Third Grade posted their first At-Bat win (with six matches) and is mounting a comeback. They have decided it may not be cool to sing You Gotta Fight for Your Right in front of the entire staff the last day of school. I still think it would be sort of cool... The results are posted on our scorecard.
